Join herbalists Jade Alicandro and Eleni Bourou + mycologist Olga Tzogas for a peek into the biodiversity and natural world of northern Greece. Together we take a visual journey from the city to the forests + high mountain meadows painted with super blooms of dozens of flower species and fairy rings of mushrooms. Learn about a handful of typical medicinal and aromatic plants we run into, their use and history locally in the region and beyond. Lets envision Spring in the thick of Winter and learn what plants and mushrooms grow in northern Greece.
-Connect with herbalists and experts sharing their work and relationships with plants and mushrooms from the Mediterranean bioregion
